After he left, I stayed on the rooftop for few more minutes. I look onto my chest and touch it as it keeps beating rapidly. Something's really wrong with me. Kanina ko pa 'to nararamdaman. Should I ask my doctor about it? But it seems that it isn't harmful,maybe it's probably normal due to shocked from the happenings earlier.
I shrugged the thoughts away and let out a deep sigh. Nagumpisa na akong maglakad pababa ng rooftop nang maramdamang maayos at kalmado na muli ang puso ko.
I headed to my room and luckily wala akong nakasalubong na mga nurse dahil alam kong masesermonan na naman ako ng mga 'yon.
Agad akong humilata sa kama at tumitig lang sa kisame na para bang may napakainteresadong bagay roon.
After staring on the ceiling fo a while,I let my eyes to closed for me to rest.
Habang nakahiga't nakapikit ang mata ay bigla kong naalala ang nangyari kanina. I grab my pillow at yinakap ito nang mahigpit.I can't stop thinking about him. Neh, this make me look like I like him. Which is crazy, duh, I just met him and there is no way that I'll instantly fall for him just because he saved me.
He seems an interesting person tho.
Anyway, thinking about Dillion... I felt that this isn't our first encounter. Parang nagkita na kami noon but I'm not sure tho, sa dami ng nakasalamuha ko over the years, hindi ko alam kung isa siya roon. But that handsome face of him...cannot be forgotten easily, right?
Tanghali pa lang pero marami na agad nangyari sa araw ko.
My eyes are already shut when my tummy suddenly starts to grumble.
Napadilat ako at agad bumangon na agad kong pinagsisihan nang mandilim ang paningin ko't saglit na nahilo.
Nang maramdamang ayos na, dahan-dahan akong tumayo at hinawakan ang tiyan kong walang laman.
Napangiwi ako nang maalalang hindi p ako kumakain simula kagabi. Sinadya kong matulog nang maaga kagabi at kanina nama'y hindi rin ako nakakain dahil sinadya kong hindi pagbuksan ang mga nurse, and after I felt that they weren't on the outside of my room anymore, I hurriedly went to the rooftop of this hospital.
I slowly opened the door, and slightly poked my head to observe if there are nurses or doctors outside. But what made me shocked, is there's someone standing in front of the door.
Dahan-dahan kong itinaas ang paningin ko sa taong nasa harapan ng pintuan ng kwarto ko, at nang magtama ang mga mata namin ay agad akong nanigas.
A sharp eyes were staring into me right now that I almost felt the cold breeze passing in between of us. Parang nanigas lalo ang mga buto ko nang unti unti itong lumapit sa pinto.
And that's my cue to move and immediately shut the door. But the other party is too fast that she blocked it with her foot. Shit!
Is that how you treat your sister? I came all the way here for you tapos sasaraduhan mo lang ako ng pinto?" She squinted her eyes at malakasang itinulak ang pinto dahilan ng pagkaatras ko.
Dire-diretso siyang pumasok sa kwarto ko at inilapag ang hawak nitong paper bag sa maliit na coffee table.
She wander her eyes around my room and stopped the look on me. I lowered my head avoiding the sharp stare from her.
I don't know why is she here but I don't have the guts to ask her why. Because, the thing is... I'm slightly afraid of her. She looks scary kaya on her doctor outfit.
The nurses reported to me that you've been skipping your meal since yesterday. " I looked on to her face and saw here brows furrowed.
I don't like the foods served here anymore." I grunt while remembering the trays of food full of different vegetables delivered in my room. Some dishes taste so bland,parang sinadyang wag lagyan ng pampalasa.
You're in a hospital, you don't have the right to be picky Lenore." She said in a matter of fact tone.
But I've been eating them since the day I woke up from my comma. Of course I'll definitely lose appetite after eating those everyday. " I reasond out. Sino bang hindi magsasawa, aber?
We-nurses and doctors have been eating those food since the day we started working here. Have you heard any complain from us? Isa pa, the food they served are all healthy, it'll help to recuperate someone's body,like yours."
My wound is already healed, what's the point of still staying here? I'm just forcing myself to eat those food na lang. Ba't hindi mo na lang kasi ako i-discharge?" I mentally rolled my eyes and tried to persuade her only to get hit on my head.
Masama ang tingin ko sa kaniya nang batukan ako nito.
She squinted her eyes while looking at me, didn't mind my sharp glare on her. Do you think papayag si Dad na i-discharge ka?" She asked in all seriousness. I clenched my fist trying to get hold of myself. Ate mo 'yan self,kalma.
You know, he even told me to prolong your stay here." She said casually as if it's not a big deal.
My mouth was agaped and there's no words coming out from my mouth as if the words I wanted to say were stuck on my throat.
After recovering from shock. I finally found my voice.A-are you joking?!" I shook my head. I received a firm no from her.
B-but, I'm already healed right, ate?" Ngayon naman ay tumango siya at sumagot ng oo.
Then why would you still keep me here? There are many patients admitted every day. So dahil magaling na ako, I should've leave now as I don't want my medical fees to grow bigger."
Sino nagsabi na pasyente ka pa rin?"
What do you mean?" I frowned.
You already said na magaling ka na so pack up your things and follow me. I prepared a dress for you." Turo niya sa paper bag na nasa coffee table. Lumapit ako roon at agad na tumakbo papuntang c.r nang makuha na ang kailngan.
It's a good thing that she prepared new clothes for me, because all I have are house clothes and pajamas.
When I'm done packing my things, I followed my sister on her office.
I sat on her couch as I wander my eyes around her office, while she's busy making a call with someone.
Maya-maya pa'y may mahihinang katok akong naririnig mula sa pinto. Dahil ako ang malapit rito, ako na ang nagbukas ng pinto.
Oh kuya Benny." Nagulat pa ako nang makita kung sino ang nasa likod ng pinto. He's my ate's personal bodyguard so hindi na kataka-takang makita siya rito.
May iniabot siya sa aking paper bag, and the smell inside of it, linger on my nose.
That's for you, kumain ka na." I didn't waste any more time and immediately devour the food.
Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng pagkain nang biglang magsalita ang ate ko.
You'll work for me." I almost choked on my food after hearing what she had said. What? Did I hear it wrong?
Hindi makapaniwala akong tumingin sa kaniya. Thinking na wala siya sa sarili ay agad akong umatras hawak-hawak ang isang piraso ng chichen drumsticks.
Prevention is a must!
Stop exaggerating!" She frowned. I just need you to accompany me for a while 'till my assistant come back. And it'll also serve as your punishment for not obeying any of us.
I bit my lower lip and didn't dare to say anything. I just need to be her temporary assistant. That's an easy job, right?
